This class is built upon and overrides certain methods in the generic
CommandShell class. Primarily it is here to control when and if bytes
sent to/from mainframe (z/os) targets get encoded/decoded from cp1047
(ebcdic<->ascii). This would be the default shell for upcoming
mainframe based payloads.
This is causing sessions to fail because meterpreter isn't doing the
right thing. I have another fix in the works which will properly solve
this, but in the short term the best way of solving the problem is to
remove this line.
Merged with HD's stuff as he fixed up a few things that I had done too.
Conflicts:
lib/msf/base/sessions/meterpreter_options.rb
lib/rex/post/meterpreter/client_core.rb
lib/rex/post/meterpreter/packet_dispatcher.rb
The 'next' and 'prev' commands were added so that the session can jump
transports without having to add new ones at the same time.
There's also a command which gives the UUID now so that this can be
reused across sessions.
Session expiry, comms timeout, retry total/wait are all now part of all
of the meterpreter payloads as these are going to be used for
maintaining access with resiliency and will aim for consistency across
the payload types.
This allows HandlerSSLCert to be used to pass a SSL certificate into the Meterpreter handler. The datastore has to be passed into handle_connection() for this to work, as SSL needs to be initialized on Session.new. This still doesn't pass the datastore into Meterpreter directly, but allows the Session::Meterpreter code to extract and pass down the :ssl_cert option if it was specified. This also fixes SSL certificate caching by expiring the cached cert from the class variables if the configuration has changed. A final change is to create a new SSL SessionID for each connection versus reusing the SSL context, which is incorrect and may lead to problems in the future (if not already).
